Baby Blue Dragons
Ms. Layla is a Los Angeles native that was raised in the Silverlake neighborhood. She has always had a deep love for working with young children. This passion began during high school when she started actively working in a daycare facility. Balancing her responsibilities at the daycare and her studies, she continued to nurture this interest throughout her journey at Pasadena City College. Recently, she graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a B.A. in Linguistics and Psychology. After volunteering at UCLA's Language Acquisition Lab and completing multiple courses related to development and language, she became increasingly interested in helping children meet their developmental milestones, especially those related to language.
With strong previous experience working with children and her knowledge of language development, she is confident that she can offer genuine and compassionate caregiving while simultaneously fostering the children's various aspects of development.
Currently, she is furthering her education at the UCLA Extension program as she is taking courses in Early Childhood Education. Inspired by her experiences with children, she aspires to continue working closely with children by becoming a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist.
During Ms. Layla's free time, she enjoys spending time with family, exploring new eateries, and watching a variety of television shows and movies. These leisure activities provide her with relaxation and fulfillment, while balancing her academic, personal, and professional aspirations.
